Comment: Still highly promotional. Please see WP:NPOV and WP:PROMO. The article needs to make it clear as to WHY the subject is notable in the very first few sentences. Her marriage to a notable actor, nor her graduating from notable schools/universities, nor her various guild memberships, nor her book mentioning celebrity anecdotes make her notable – those are trivia which can be mentioned much later (with discretion). What does make her notable would be her various writing credits on notable TV shows and particularly her Emmy nomination/s, which I am still unclear about after reading this draft. Please see WP:PYRAMID and restructure this article accordingly, thank you. Kind regards, Spinster300 (talk) 20:54, 26 September 2023 (UTC).
